In the early morning hours of August 9, 1995, 16-year-old Shawndell Banks was standing at a pay phone near East 28th Avenue and Race Street in Denver when an unknown person approached and shot him multiple times. Emergency responders took him to a local hospital, but he died of his wounds on August 21, 1995, just months short of his seventeenth birthday.

The motive for the attack remains unclear. No suspect has been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced; the killing remains an unsolved cold case. The Denver Police Department continues to seek information that could lead to a breakthrough and justice for Shawndell and his family.

Did anyone in the Denver area at the time see activity near East 28th Avenue and Race Street that morning or have information that could help this investigation?
